Buying Only 10 Games in 12 Months (2018)
•
Page 138

Haha, well, TECHNICALLY I am only one month behind schedule! Dead cells only unlocks in August. So if I don't buy another game until the end of September - not completely out of the question given the somewhat barren release schedule - I'm on track to having one game a month for the rest of the year, one for each of October, November and December.

The difference between now and this time last year is I am actually having great fun with my backlog. Playing Resident Evil 4 on PC atm, cracking game. Itching to get back on Hollow Knight too.

Cheers, no use to me (unless I can somehow beat my latest purchase in the next few days which is unlikely)

Anyway - Put me onto 6, Got Heat Signature in the Steam Sale and it's pretty great (under a tenner, but looks like it will take a while to finish)

Never played the dev's previous game (gunpoint) but liked the look of this one: you infiltrate random spaceships and use different gadgets and weapons to execute different missions. Plays a bit like Hotline Miami, but you can pause the game at any time and perform actions (which allows for some really cool maneuvers without the need for amazing twitch reflexes)

Plus you can escape enemy ships by shooting out windows and blasting yourself into space, then remote-control your pod to catch yourself before you run out of air

Rest of the year is going to be:
-Red Dead
-Spiderman
-Maybe Bloodstained if it reviews well (recent kickstarter demo was promising)
-One more game

How many you on for the year so far?

I'm on a lot. I've been installing and playing my whole steam unplayed list - even if it's just to decide games are shit and to bin them off.

I'm 35 hours into Hollow Knight and I think it's my favourite game of the year so far. So much so that I've actually refunded Dead Cells on Steam so am back down to five games. Dead Cells is amaaaazing, but it's not a genre I'm particularly interested in right now. Definitely more in the mood for a crafted experience.

Possibly this is why I drifted away from Darkest Dungeon in the end after 50 hours or so. Loved it, but the randomness took something away. Something that I found in Hollow Knight - a game that I absolutely would've sacked off for being too hard if I weren't so desperate to wring the last ounce of gameplay from one of my ten games.

Still haven't 'bought' any games since getting the pro, but have a number of games from the Roguey thread that I haven't installed as my PC is still in storage. Added a few Ps+ games to my Account too but not yet installed. Spiderman will definitely be my next purchase, unless Dark Souls for the Switch comes out of its dev shell.

July already!!
I hope it is going great for you all and you re-instil the life and fun that gaming is supposed to bring!
I won't be able to join you this year.
But there is 2019 and beyond and who knows what it will bring with it.

This is a great initiative. After vowing to really get behind the games I want to play so I can once again enjoy the nuance and magic, this is also something I can get behind... Easily.

If it makes anyone feel better, for context, I did not join this challenge and my year has been thusly so far:

- Bought 18 games
- Spent £652 (PSVR to blame)
- Downloaded and played for at least an hour 10 Xbox Game Pass games
- Only completed 13 of those 28 games
- Abandoned with what I would say is an 'insufficient' amount of time played at least 8 games

So you might be doing quite well even if you're on the verge of failing
